“Elegant music of a baroque and even medieval cast…” Alternative Press, USA 1997.

Etude: Originally released in 1997 on Projekt records in the USA. This unique album is a collection of some of the most loved early Attrition pieces, completely re- worked and re-arranged for classical instrumentation:
Viola, violin, cello, organ, percussion and voice.
Recorded in collaboration with classical musician Franck Dematteis, a long time admirer of Attrition and member of the Paris Opera.
Franck originally contacted the band in 1995 and contributed viola to the 3 arms and a dead cert album.
Etude was, and is, both the natural successor and a wonderful diversion - and the beginning of Attrition’s long time incorporation of classical instrumentation into their music…
The album includes a  cover of Purcell's "Cold Genius", completing a very special work .

Available worldwide for the first time through the  band’s own Two Gods label.

Marketed exclusively by Voiceprint.

“The connection between the contemporary gothic subculture and the neo-gothic chamber music on this CD is intriguing, as there are common intimations of melancholy, mortality and quiet dread…”  AP/USA ‘97

"Etude is a collection of some of Attrition's best work, rearranged for strings, organ and percussion….However the chemistry worked the end result is simply astounding. Especially in "A girl called harmony" and "I am", the orchestral remixes capture the full body of the original work, while at the same time expressing a more harmonic depth and richness of tone. In "Fate is smiling", the dramatic texturing and percussion are breathtaking and nearly overpowering at times.
Etude is indeed a marvellous undertaking."
     Xian says zine. 1997
